IMPROVEMENT IN METHODS OF ATTACHIG HA'NDLEIS TO SAWS.-

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

I, SAMUEL W. VALENTINE, of Bristol, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented A a. new and usefullmprovcment in Attaching Handles 'to Grossen-Saws, of which the following is a speciication.

My invention consists in the employment of a T- 'holt provided with two short pins, which bolt and pins pass through corresponding holes in the saw-plate and the flanges of the ordinary handle-band, and are secured by means of a thumb-nut, as hereinafter more fully described, the whole combined and operating together.

In the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 is a sideV elevation of an attachment of my invention;

Figure 2, a top view ot' the saine; and y Figure 3, a transverse section of the same on line a;

,A designates the ordinary fel-rule ceiving the wooden handle, and

B B the anges of the band A.

C isa T-bolt, the head a of which bolt is provide with pins b 7). Said pins are alittle shorter than the or band for recombined thickness of the flanges B B and saw-plate D, and therefore do not project through the flanges B B far enough to interfere with the operation of the thumb-nut c. l

. The saw-plate D and anges'B B are each provided with three holes to correspond in shape and size with the body ot the T-bolt O and the pins b b.

By placing the saw-plate D between the flanges B B and inserting the T-bolt O, with its body and pins b b in their respective holes, as shown ing. 3, and securing the same by the thumb-nut c or its equivalent, the saw-plate is firmly secured to the Hanges B B, and is, ii' properly tted, secured substantially as rigid as it' secured by three separate rivets.-

I claim as my invention- The combination ofthe saw-plate D, flanges B B, T-bolt O provided with the pins b b,as described, and the nut c, the whole combined and operating together substantially as and for the purpose described.
